Oxfam rockets

15 Aug

While most of us float about

The Oxfam team goes all out

They discuss, they shout

But what on earth for?

Why all this stress?

In the middle of this refugee mess?

 

Late nights are more than normal

To arrange, to make another call

No one sits idle, this is one for all

About making a collective effort

To make that hint of a difference

Even if others only talk gibberish

 

They try to make amends

Create dialogue to figure out the bends

with government officials, in WASH facilities or tents

Make it just a little better

To help others in their fight

For their dignity and rights

Persons of inspiration:  Every team has its challenges, especially when everybody really wants to do well, but at the same time is tired, stressed out, experiences leadership changes very often and are looking for a shared vision. But boy, do all of these people care and they are doing an amazing job. Thanks for being the people that you are. You are super rockets!
